Evolution of methods for evaluating the occurrence of floods
M. A. Benson
1962, Water Supply Paper 1580-A
A brief summary is given of the history of methods of expressing flood potentialities, proceeding from simple flood formulas to statistical methods of flood-frequency analysis on a regional basis. Current techniques are described and evaluated. Long-term flood records in the United States show no justification for the adoption of a...
